Hi. My name is Linda Freed. I'm the owner of Magnum and Ruger, and I built this website for them. I am also a self taught artist. I've been lead by my creative side to explore all kinds of artistic media, including: woodcraft, clay, oil, acrylic and watercolor. My favorite is watercolor. I find it the most challenging and also the most forgiving.

I have been painting pet portraits for over five years now, and my technique continues to improve. Although I do a lot of labrador retrievers (they are my "breed" and I own and show them in Obedience and Agility) I can paint any breed of dog.

To inquire about a portrait commission, please email me at: raian76@hotmail.com. I typically charge $90.00 for one subject on an 11 x 14. I do need GOOD QUALITY photographs of your pet to work with. I paint all portraits on spec... if you don't like the finished portrait, you need not purchase it. I email clients with photos of their work in progress. For more pricing details, email me.
